RED, BLACK, AND BANKRUPT
The Boardroom Of The 1996 New Jersey Devils
ABOUT THIS COMMITTEE
New Jersey finally had something to brag about. In 1996, one year removed from the most dominant Stanley Cup run in modern hockey history, the Devils were supposed to be the beginning of a dynasty. Instead, the arena is half-empty, and somewhere in a filing cabinet, there’s a document with the word Nashville on it that nobody is supposed to know about.
Welcome to the boardroom. It’s uglier here than it looks from the outside. Everyone has an agenda, and the championship banner hanging in the rafters is the only thing holding this whole operation together.
So, take a seat. We have a lot to discuss.
